phpGroupWare is a web based GroupWare system. It comes with serveral
|
||||
core apps for email, calendar, todo list, address book, file manager,
|
||||
and a notepad.

It also provides a framework for add-on applications to integrate
|
||||
seamlessly in phpGroupWare. Some samples are a bookmark manager, a
|
||||
trouble ticket system, a weather reporter, a phone log, a chat program,
|
||||
and a forum system. There are many more in development, and you can
|
||||
develop your own as well.

You should use it if you would like a powerful groupware system that

can be access from anywhere on the Internet, and allows for custom

add-ons. For companies with a distributed user base, it's an ideal

solution. Oh, and did I mention that its FREE?

You will need PHP compiled and installed on your system. You will
|
||||
also need MySQL or PostgreSQL setup. If you are planning on using
|
||||
the email system, you will need to have an IMAP server installed and
|
||||
IMAP support compiled into PHP. You can have it installed as an Apache
|
||||
module or command line version, the Apache module is preferred. We
|
||||
will assume that you are running on a Linux or other Unix system for
|
||||
these steps. Windows is supported, but there is no documentation for
|
||||
it currently.

|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Point your browser to phpgroupware/setup/ which will create (or upgrade)
|
||||
the header.inc.php and database tables. Setup will attempt to determine
|
||||
what version of the phpGroupWare databases and header.inc.php you
|
||||
have installed, and upgrade to the most recent version.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
<b>Note:</b> You are advised to backup your existing alpha database
|
||||
before running the setup script to avoid problems!

<p>
|

If your config is setup properly you can now login. Point your browser
|
||||
to the installed location and login with the username demo and the
|
||||
password is 1234
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
At this point it would be a good idea to create a new user with administrative
|

<p>
|

<h3><a name="tth_sEc4.7">
|
||||
4.7</a> Installing additional applications </h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running, you may
|
||||
want to download and install additional applications.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You should consult any README or INSTALL files that come with the
|
||||
new application first, as most require you to create additional tables
|
||||
in the database, and add additional translation data to the lang table
|
||||
(typically a file called lang.sql)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install tree
|
||||
by copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare install
|
||||
location, and enabling the application through the Administration
|
||||
page.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines application:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
(see <a href="http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps"><tt>http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps</tt></a> for more
|
||||
applications)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out the source
|
||||
with cvs with
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwapps'
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
cvs co headlines
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install directory.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to the Administration
|
||||
page.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
In the first section, choose the Applications link.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Click on add, and fill in the form.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Application name should be identical to the name of the directory
|
||||
you moved into the phpGroupWare install, in this case use headlines
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Application Title is shown in the navigation bar and other places
|
||||
to refer to the new application. Enter Headlines for this example.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Enabled can be used to disable an application for all users temporially.
|
||||
You should normal check the box to enable the application.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Back in the Administration page, you need to enable the application
|
||||
for specific users or user groups by editing them, and checking the
|
||||
new Headlines box that appears in the middle of the account editing
|
||||
page.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once you have added the Headlines app to your account, you should
|
||||
see a Headlines entry in the Administration and Preferences pages,
|
||||
and there should be an icon for the Headlines application in the navigation
|
||||
bar.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Once you enable a few of the Headlines sites through the Administration
|
||||
page link, you should see headlines grabbed from the sites you selected
|
||||
when you click on the Headlines icon in the navigation bar.

||||
which may take more than the 30 second timeout.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program, or
|
||||
add the line
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
set_time_limit(0);
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
to the top of the phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file, just
|
||||
before the line class msg extends msg_common
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
If you choose to edit the file, be patient when loading a large POP3
|
||||
mailbox - the author tested against a mailbox with 2500 messages in
|
||||
it, but it took 15 minutes to load the page. We highly suggest you
|
||||
use IMAP if you expect to have more than a few hundred messages in
|
||||
your mailbox.

|

5.2</a> When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page </h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
You are using Apache, this often means you need to add .php to the
|
||||
DirectoryIndex line in your httpd.conf file. For example:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi
|
||||
|
||||
<p>

<h3><a name="tth_sEc5.3">

5.3</a> I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare
|
||||
URL </h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
This is often because you have php3 installed, which does not map
|
||||
.php to the PHP engine. For PHP3:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
For PHP4:
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php

Dedication
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Thanks to Joesph Engo for starting phpGroupWare (at the time called webdistro)
|
||||
and the core of this HOWTO.
|
||||
Thanks to all the developers and users who contribute to making phpGroupWare
|
||||
such a success.
|
||||
|
||||
\layout Section
|
||||
|
||||
What is phpGroupWare
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
phpGroupWare is a web based GroupWare system.
|
||||
It comes with serveral core apps for email, calendar, todo list, address
|
||||
book, file manager, and a notepad.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
It also provides a framework for add-on applications to integrate seamlessly
|
||||
in phpGroupWare.
|
||||
Some samples are a bookmark manager, a trouble ticket system, a weather
|
||||
reporter, a phone log, a chat program, and a forum system.
|
||||
There are many more in development, and you can develop your own as well.
|
||||
|
||||
\layout Section
|
||||
|
||||
Why you should use it
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
You should use it if you would like a powerful groupware system that can
|
||||
be access from anywhere on the Internet, and allows for custom add-ons.
|
||||
For companies with a distributed user base, it's an ideal solution.
|
||||
Oh, and did I mention that its FREE?
|
||||

Requirements
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
You will need PHP compiled and installed on your system.
|
||||
You will also need MySQL or PostgreSQL setup.
|
||||
If you are planning on using the email system, you will need to have an
|
||||
IMAP server installed and IMAP support compiled into PHP.
|
||||
You can have it installed as an Apache module or command line version,
|
||||
the Apache module is preferred.
|
||||
We will assume that you are running on a Linux or other Unix system for
|
||||
these steps.
|
||||
Windows is supported, but there is no documentation for it currently.

\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
There are a few directories which will need special fie permissions set
|
||||
for phpGroupWare to work properly.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Temp Directory (Required) - This can be /tmp for simplicity, but it is required
|
||||
for several apps to function properly.
|
||||
Simply make sure that the webserver can add/delete files in it.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Files Directory (Required) - This can be should be the files dir under the
|
||||
phpgroupware dir.
|
||||
You will need to give the webserver account owndership of this directory.
|
||||
\layout Standard

|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Root Directory (Not recommended) - If you give the webserver account write
|
||||
access to the phpgroupware directory, then the setup program can create
|
||||
the header.inc.php for you.
|
||||
Otherwise you will need to use the setup program to create it, and then
|
||||
you can manually save it to file.

|
||||
Installing additional applications
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running, you may want
|
||||
to download and install additional applications.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
You should consult any README or INSTALL files that come with the new applicatio
|
||||
n first, as most require you to create additional tables in the database,
|
||||
and add additional translation data to the lang table (typically a file
|
||||
called lang.sql)
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install tree by
|
||||
copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare install location,
|
||||
and enabling the application through the Administration page.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines application:
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
(see
|
||||
\begin_inset LatexCommand \htmlurl{http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps}
|
||||
|
||||
\end_inset
|
||||
|
||||
for more applications)
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out the source with
|
||||
cvs with
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwa
|
||||
pps'
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
cvs co headlines
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install directory.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to the Administration
|
||||
page.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
In the first section, choose the Applications link.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Click on add, and fill in the form.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Application name should be identical to the name of the directory you moved
|
||||
into the phpGroupWare install, in this case use headlines
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Application Title is shown in the navigation bar and other places to refer
|
||||
to the new application.
|
||||
Enter Headlines for this example.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Enabled can be used to disable an application for all users temporially.
|
||||
You should normal check the box to enable the application.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Back in the Administration page, you need to enable the application for
|
||||
specific users or user groups by editing them, and checking the new Headlines
|
||||
box that appears in the middle of the account editing page.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have added the Headlines app to your account, you should see a
|
||||
Headlines entry in the Administration and Preferences pages, and there
|

This is often a problem if you are using POP3 instead of IMAP, and you have
|
||||
more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes over 30 seconds
|
||||
to complete.
|
||||
phpGroupWare must do a lot of work the first time your POP3 mailbox is
|
||||
opened, and every time you get new mail, which may take more than the 30
|
||||
second timeout.
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program, or add the
|
||||
line
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
set_time_limit(0);
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
to the top of the phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file, just before the
|
||||
line class msg extends msg_common

||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|
||||
If you choose to edit the file, be patient when loading a large POP3 mailbox
|
||||
- the author tested against a mailbox with 2500 messages in it, but it
|
||||
took 15 minutes to load the page.
|
||||
We highly suggest you use IMAP if you expect to have more than a few hundred
|
||||
messages in your mailbox.

When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page

|

You are using Apache, this often means you need to add .php to the DirectoryIndex
|
||||
line in your httpd.conf file.
|
||||
For example:

|

I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare URL
|

\layout Standard
|
||||
|

This is often because you have php3 installed, which does not map .php to
|
||||
the PHP engine.
|
||||
For PHP3:
|
||||
\layout Standard
|
||||
|

AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php

Chapter 1. What is phpGroupWare
|
||||
phpGroupWare is a web based GroupWare system. It comes with serveral core apps for email, calendar, todo list, address book, file manager, and a notepad.
|
||||
It also provides a framework for add-on applications to integrate seamlessly in phpGroupWare. Some samples are a bookmark manager, a trouble ticket system, a weather reporter, a phone log, a chat program, and a forum system. There are many more in development, and you can develop your own as well.

4.3. Setting File Permissions
|
||||
There are a few directories which will need special fie permissions set for phpGroupWare to work properly.
|
||||
Temp Directory (Required) - This can be /tmp for simplicity, but it is required for several apps to function properly. Simply make sure that the webserver can add/delete files in it.
|
||||
Files Directory (Required) - This can be should be the files dir under the phpgroupware dir. You will need to give the webserver account owndership of this directory.

chown nobody:nobody
|
||||
|
||||
chmod 700 /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware/files
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Root Directory (Not recommended) - If you give the webserver account write access to the phpgroupware directory, then the setup program can create the header.inc.php for you. Otherwise you will need to use the setup program to create it, and then you can manually save it to file.

|
||||
Otherwise you will need to use the setup program to create
|

|
||||
|
||||
If you want to do it:
|
||||
|
||||
chown :nobody /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware
|
||||
|
||||
chmod 770
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
You may have to get required permissions to do this. Contact your system administrator if you dont have the permission to write to your webserver directory.
|
||||
4.4. Setup / Configure phpGroupWare
|
||||
Point your browser to phpgroupware/setup/ which will create (or upgrade) the header.inc.php and database tables. Setup will attempt to determine what version of the phpGroupWare databases and header.inc.php you have installed, and upgrade to the most recent version.
|
||||
Note: You are advised to backup your existing alpha database before running the setup script to avoid problems!
|
||||
4.5. Testing the install
|
||||
If your config is setup properly you can now login. Point your browser to the installed location and login with the username demo and the password is 1234
|
||||
At this point it would be a good idea to create a new user with administrative privileges and delete the old one.
|
||||
4.6. Installing additional applications
|
||||
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running, you may want to download and install additional applications.
|
||||
You should consult any README or INSTALL files that come with the new application first, as most require you to create additional tables in the database, and add additional translation data to the lang table (typically a file called lang.sql)
|
||||
You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install tree by copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare install location, and enabling the application through the Administration page.
|
||||
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines application (see http://sourceforge.net/phpgwapps/ (http://sourceforge.net/phpgwapps/) for more on this and other applications).
|
||||
• Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out the source with cvs with
|
||||
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwapps'
|
||||
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||||
cvs co headlines
|
||||
|
||||
• Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install directory.
|
||||
• Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to the Administration page.
|
||||
• In the first section, choose the Applications link.
|
||||
• Click on add, and fill in the form.
|
||||
Application name should be identical to the name of the directory you moved into the phpGroupWare install, in this case use headlines
|
||||
Application Title is shown in the navigation bar and other places to refer to the new application. Enter Headlines for this example.
|
||||
Enabled can be used to disable an application for all users temporially. You should normal check the box to enable the application.
|
||||
• Back in the Administration page, you need to enable the application for specific users or user groups by editing them, and checking the new Headlines box that appears in the middle of the account editing page.
|
||||
• Once you have added the Headlines app to your account, you should see a Headlines entry in the Administration and Preferences pages, and there should be an icon for the Headlines application in the navigation bar.
|
||||
• Once you enable a few of the Headlines sites through the Administration page link, you should see headlines grabbed from the sites you selected when you click on the Headlines icon in the navigation bar.
|
||||

||||
* create the empty database: mysqldadmin -u someuser create
|
||||
phpgroupware -p
|
||||
|
||||
* login to mysql: mysql -u someuser -p
|
||||
|
||||
* issue the following at the mysql prompt:
|
||||
|
||||
* grant all on phpgroupware.* to phpgroupware@localhost identified
|
||||
by "somepassword";
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
|
||||
4.4.2 Postgresql (assuming an existing and working Postgresql
|
||||
install)
|
||||
|
||||
To create the required database in Postgresql make sure postgresql
|
||||
is started:
|
||||
|
||||
* Mandrake or Redhat : /etc/rc.d/init.d/postgresql start
|
||||
|
||||
* others: pg_ctl -D /path/to/database/dir -p /path/to/postmaster
|
||||
start
|
||||
|
||||
* create the empty database: createdb phpgroupware
|
||||
|
||||
For more detailed user documentation on Postgresql see their
|
||||
website : [http://www.postgresql.org]
|
||||
|
||||
4.5 Setup / Configure phpGroupWare
|
||||
|
||||
Point your browser to phpgroupware/setup/ which will create
|
||||
(or upgrade) the header.inc.php and database tables. Setup
|
||||
will attempt to determine what version of the phpGroupWare
|
||||
databases and header.inc.php you have installed, and upgrade
|
||||
to the most recent version.
|
||||
|
||||
Note: You are advised to backup your existing alpha database
|
||||
before running the setup script to avoid problems!
|
||||
|
||||
4.6 Testing the install
|
||||
|
||||
If your config is setup properly you can now login. Point
|
||||
your browser to the installed location and login with the
|
||||
username demo and the password is 1234
|
||||
|
||||
At this point it would be a good idea to create a new user
|
||||
with administrative privileges and delete the old one.
|
||||
|
||||
4.7 Installing additional applications
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running,
|
||||
you may want to download and install additional applications.
|
||||
|
||||
You should consult any README or INSTALL files that come
|
||||
with the new application first, as most require you to create
|
||||
additional tables in the database, and add additional translation
|
||||
data to the lang table (typically a file called lang.sql)
|
||||
|
||||
You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install
|
||||
tree by copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare
|
||||
install location, and enabling the application through the
|
||||
Administration page.
|
||||
|
||||
For example, this is the process to install the Headlines
|
||||
application:
|
||||
|
||||
(see [http://www.sourceforge.net/projects/phpgwapps]
|
||||
for more applications)
|
||||
|
||||
Download the .tar.gz file for the application, or check out
|
||||
the source with cvs with
|
||||
|
||||
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgwapps'
|
||||
|
||||
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||||
|
||||
cvs co headlines
|
||||
|
||||
Move the headlines directory into your phpGroupWare install
|
||||
directory.
|
||||
|
||||
Log into phpGroupWare as an administrative user, and go to
|
||||
the Administration page.
|
||||
|
||||
In the first section, choose the Applications link.
|
||||
|
||||
Click on add, and fill in the form.
|
||||
|
||||
Application name should be identical to the name of the directory
|
||||
you moved into the phpGroupWare install, in this case use
|
||||
headlines
|
||||
|
||||
Application Title is shown in the navigation bar and other
|
||||
places to refer to the new application. Enter Headlines
|
||||
for this example.
|
||||
|
||||
Enabled can be used to disable an application for all users
|
||||
temporially. You should normal check the box to enable the
|
||||
application.
|
||||
|
||||
Back in the Administration page, you need to enable the application
|
||||
for specific users or user groups by editing them, and checking
|
||||
the new Headlines box that appears in the middle of the
|
||||
account editing page.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you have added the Headlines app to your account, you
|
||||
should see a Headlines entry in the Administration and Preferences
|
||||
pages, and there should be an icon for the Headlines application
|
||||
in the navigation bar.
|
||||
|
||||
Once you enable a few of the Headlines sites through the
|
||||
Administration page link, you should see headlines grabbed
|
||||
from the sites you selected when you click on the Headlines
|
||||
icon in the navigation bar.
|
||||
|
||||
5 Trouble Shooting
|
||||
|
||||
Warning
|
||||
|
||||
phpGroupWare is still Beta software, expect some bugs along
|
||||
the way. If you run into a problem not discussed here, contact
|
||||
us through one of the methods listed on the website.
|
||||
|
||||
The phpGroupWare developers can most often be seen hanging
|
||||
out in #phpGroupWare on irc.openprojects.net if you require
|
||||
real-time help.
|
||||
|
||||
Also check the FAQ in this directory for additional common
|
||||
questions, it is available as FAQ.sgml, FAQ.txt and FAQ.html
|
||||
|
||||
5.1 It seems to hang when I try to read my mail
|
||||
|
||||
This is often a problem if you are using POP3 instead of
|
||||
IMAP, and you have more than a few hundred messages in your
|
||||
mailbox.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes
|
||||
over 30 seconds to complete. phpGroupWare must do a lot
|
||||
of work the first time your POP3 mailbox is opened, and
|
||||
every time you get new mail, which may take more than the
|
||||
30 second timeout.
|
||||
|
||||
You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program,
|
||||
or add the line
|
||||
|
||||
The phpGroupWare developers can most often be seen hanging out in #phpGroupWare on irc.openprojects.net if you require real-time help.
|
||||
Also check the FAQ in this directory for additional common questions, it is available as FAQ.sgml, FAQ.txt and FAQ.html
|
||||
5.1. I get "Unable to open mailbox" when using the email application
|
||||
At the time of this writing (2000-09-27) you must use the same username and password in phpGroupWare that you use to log into your mail server. If you change your password and it still isn't working, try logging out of phpGroupWare (the rightmost icon in the navigation bar) and then log back in.
|
||||
An preference page to edit the email settings is being developed, and should appear shortly after the first beta release.
|
||||
5.2. It seems to hang when I try to read my mail
|
||||
This is often a problem if you are using POP3 instead of IMAP, and you have more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.
|
||||
By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes over 30 seconds to complete. phpGroupWare must do a lot of work the first time your POP3 mailbox is opened, and every time you get new mail, which may take more than the 30 second timeout.
|
||||
You can either clean up your mailbox with another mail program, or add the line
|
||||
set_time_limit(0);
|
||||
|
||||
to the top of the phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file, just before the line class msg extends msg_common
|
||||
If you choose to edit the file, be patient when loading a large POP3 mailbox - the author tested against a mailbox with 2500 messages in it, but it took 15 minutes to load the page. We highly suggest you use IMAP if you expect to have more than a few hundred messages in your mailbox.
|
||||
5.3. When I log in I see the directory listing instead of a web page
|
||||
You are using Apache, this often means you need to add .php to the DirectoryIndex line in your httpd.conf file. For example:
|
||||
DirectoryIndex index.php index.php3 index.html index.htm index.cgi
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
5.4. I get garbage that looks like code when I go to the phpGroupWare URL
|
||||
This is often because you have php3 installed, which does not map .php to the PHP engine. For PHP3:
|
||||
AddType application/x-httpd-php3 .php3 .php
|
||||
|
||||
For PHP4:
|
||||
AddType application/x-httpd-php .php3 .php
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
to the top of the phpgwapi/inc/phpgw_msg_pop3.inc.php file,
|
||||
just before the line class msg extends msg_common

|
||||
<sect1>Questions and Answers
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: When I try to send file attachments, I get errors about safe mode being
|
||||
effect.<newline>
|
||||
A: I ran into this problem after I installed Aeromail for the first time.<newline>
|
||||
Try chown root.root for all files in your /phpGroupWare directory. I don't know
|
||||
why this is needed. Any ideas ?
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: Why don't you just use the session class from phplib? Why not use cookies
|
||||
to hold the sessionid?<newline>
|
||||
A: I personally don't like using cookies for something like this.<newline>
|
||||
However, the session management is currently being abstracted for the applications.
|
||||
This means that switching to cookies will be possible for those that are interested.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: When I do a search, it returns the results but they have the wrong date.<newline>
|
||||
A: Becuase of the way the tables are set up to handle repeating events,
|
||||
I need to rewrite the query. I have not had a chance to play around with it
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: When I view the calendar, I get tons of SQL errors.<newline>
|
||||
A: Make sure all users on the system belong to a group. That should clear up
|
||||
any problems. This is something that needs to be fixed.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: Will phpGroupWare run on PHP4 ?<newline>
|
||||
A: Yes. It runs on both PHP3 and PHP4.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: Will phpGroupWare work with SSL ?<newline>
|
||||
A: Sure, why not ? I am running it with mod_ssl and have had no problems.
|
||||
Since there are no references to http:// or https:// there should not be
|
||||
any problems with it.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: Does phpGroupWare work on any other databases ?<newline>
|
||||
A: Right now, no. I have been playing around with support for mSQL, but, that
|
||||
will take some time. Other databases are completly unknown at this point,
|
||||
support for Oracle, MS-SQL, and others are planned for the future.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: I am having problems installing on PostgreSQL 6.x.<newline>
|
||||
A: phpGroupWare is being developed with version 7.x. I tried installing it on
|
||||
6.x and ran into a bunch of probelms. Unless you plan on toying around
|
||||
with it, your better off with 7.x.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Q: Will phpGroupWare work with Windows?<newline>
|
||||
A: Yes, there several people who are using it.<newline>
|
||||
Thanks Vincent Larchet <<vinz@users.sourceforge.net>> for patching anything
|
||||
we do that breaks phpGroupWare on NT.

<title>Installing from TarBall</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Installing from a TarBall is very easy. The files should be installed in the webserver directory.
|
||||
Example steps (please adjust to your servers config):
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
cp phpgroupware-version.tar.gz /home/httpd/html
|
||||
cd /home/httpd/html
|
||||
tar zxf phpgroupware-version.tar.gz
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
You may have to get required permissions to do this.
|
||||
Contact your system administrator if you dont have the permission to write to your webserver directory.

<title>Installing from CVS</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Installing from a CVS is fairly easy. The files should be checked out in the webserver directory.
|
||||
Example steps (please adjust to your servers config):
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
cd /home/httpd/html
|
||||
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||||
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware co phpgroupware
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
or if you prefer using CVSROOT:
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
export CVSROOT=':pserver:anonymous@cvs.phpgroupware.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/phpgroupware'
|
||||
cvs login (just hit enter if prompted for a password)
|
||||
cvs co headlines
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
You may have to get required permissions to do this.
|
||||
Contact your system administrator if you dont have the permission to write to your webserver directory.

<title>Setting File Permissions</title>
|

<para>
|

There are a few directories which will need special fie permissions set for phpGroupWare to work properly.
|

</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Temp Directory (Required) - This can be /tmp for simplicity, but it is required for several apps to function properly.
|
||||
Simply make sure that the webserver can add/delete files in it.
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Files Directory (Required) - This can be should be the files dir under the phpgroupware dir. You will need to give the webserver account owndership of this directory.
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
chown nobody:nobody
|
||||
chmod 700 /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware/files
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Root Directory (Not recommended) - If you give the webserver account write access to the phpgroupware directory, then the setup program can create the header.inc.php for you.
|
||||
Otherwise you will need to use the setup program to create it, and then you can manually save it to file.
|
||||
<programlisting>
|
||||
If you want to do it:
|
||||
chown :nobody /home/httpd/html/phpgroupware
|
||||
chmod 770
|
||||
</programlisting>
|
||||
</para>
|

Point your browser to phpgroupware/setup/ which will

create (or upgrade) the header.inc.php and database tables.

Setup will attempt to determine what version
|

of the phpGroupWare databases and header.inc.php you have installed, and upgrade to the most recent version.

<title>Installing additional applications</title>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
Once you have the core phpGroupWare install up and running,
|
||||
you may want to download and install additional applications.
|

</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
You should consult any <filename>README</filename> or <filename>INSTALL</filename>
|
||||
files that come with the new application first, as most require you
|
||||
to create additional tables in the database, and add additional
|
||||
translation data to the lang table (typically a file called <filename>lang.sql</filename>)
|
||||
</para>
|

<para>

You install the new application within the phpGroupWare install tree by

copying the application directory into the phpGroupWare install location,
|

and enabling the application through the Administration page.

</para>
|
||||
<para>
|
||||
It also provides a framework for add-on applications to integrate seamlessly in phpGroupWare.
|
||||
Some samples are a bookmark manager, a trouble ticket system, a weather reporter, a phone log, a chat program, and a forum system.
|

There are many more in development, and you can develop your own as well.

You will need PHP compiled and installed on your system. You will also need MySQL or PostgreSQL setup.

If you are planning on using the email system, you will need to have an IMAP server installed and IMAP support compiled into PHP.

You can have it installed as an Apache module or command line version, the Apache module is preferred.

We will assume that you are running on a Linux or other Unix system for these steps.

By default, php is set up to time-out a request that takes over 30 seconds

second timeout.
